having knowledge about behavioral biases, investors are able to evaluate their decision process with more awareness and they can react much better when facing such biases, as a result decisions deviation will be minimized. in this study, 36 different behavioral biases have been categorized into 5 different groups to normalize the effective behavioral biases in the process of decision making of ...

The evolution of object-oriented databases (OODBs) has not been accompanied by an equivalent evolution of theoretical models, leaving the foundations for OODBs ill-defined. Design of OODBs has been hampered by the lack of design techniques/tools which correspond to the theoretical model. This paper defines a core conceptual object oriented database (COODB) model providing a foundation and frame...

brain stimulation techniques are important in both basic and clinical studies. majority of well-known brain stimulating techniques have low spatial resolution or entail invasive processes. low intensity focused ultrasound (lifu) seems to be a proper candidate for dealing with such deficiencies. this review recapitulates studies which explored the effects of lifu on brain structures and its func...

aim and background: there are various methods for treatment of depression. this study was aimed to examine and compare the efficacy of three therapeutic techniques namely group cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, drug therapy with fluoxetin and drug- therapy with the herbal medicine named hypiran in treatment of depression in women. method and materials: in an experimental study, a total number...

International Patent Classification (IPC) is a standard taxonomy or hierarchy maintained by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). Using this standard hierarchy, patents are classified using machine learning techniques. The first sets of experiments investigate the effect on classification performance at different levels (section, class, subclass and main group level) of IPC hierarchy...

Most behavioral synthesis and design for testability techniques target subsequent gate-level sequential test generation, which is frequently incapable of handling complex controller/data path circuits with large data path bit-widths. Hierarchical testing attempts to counter the complexity of test generation by exploiting information from multiple levels of the design hierarchy. We present techn...

Existing algorithms for mining association rule at multiple concept level, restricted mining strong association among the concept at same level of a hierarchy. However mining level-crossing association rule at multiple concept level may lead to the discovery of mining strong association among at different level of hierarchy. In this study, a top-down progressive deepening method is developed fo...

Markov models provide a useful representation of system behavioral actions and state observations, but they do not scale well. Utilizing a hierarchy and abstraction as in HHMMs improves scalability, but they are usually constructed manually using knowledge engineering techniques. In this paper, we introduce a new method of automatically constructing HHMMs and subsequent hierarchical POMDPs usin...
